Amri Helms, who was east into the Mecklenburg county jail Tues day night by Sheriff, has confessed to the killing of Ella Pryor, an old sweetheart of his. He declares that he did not know the gun was loaded, and when he pointed it, did so to frighten the girl for the amusement that it would afford. He has employed Stewart & Mcltae attorneys, and will tight the case through court. The officers felt pretty certain that they had landed the right man, but the statement of the prisoner, made to Deputy Sheriff E. O. Johnson, without solicita tion, came as a surprise. Before Helms has cleared him self of the charge preferred against him he will have to produce evi deuce to convince a jury of twelve good men and true that he shot the trirl in fun. He savs that hen he went up to the house and saw the gun sitting mere, ne picked it up, unbreeched it, re moved a shell, 'which he put in his pocket, cocked the gun and snap ped it at the second person who came to the door, whom he took to be Mrs. I'ryor. To his great surprise the gun tired and the woman fell, in the dark Helms claims that he had taken it to le a single-barreled gun and. in that way, was fooled. He had been in the habit of projecting with the ryors and that is why he pointed the gun. This is a very interesting story. If Helms did what he said he did, he will have to explain further, why, after he had shot the woman, he tarried long enough tounbreech the gun and tlrov out the empty shell which was found on the ground several hours later. Those who believe that the young fellow i tended to shoot the girl say that a more plausihio theory is mat, when he tired the gun, he broke it and took out the loaded shell to keep any one from using the gun on him before he could tret away If Helms is guilty of wilful mur ler he is Liking the only way out of it, and lu's a tan- chance to win. The case promises to be v ery interesting. There is this much in Helms' favor: He did i,ot go to the home with the intention of killing any one, for he curried no weapon. He told his fellow pris- eis Monday night that he thought Mrs. I'ryor came to the door after llecky had gone back. He de clared that he did not know that he had killed any one. - The tragedy has attracted much attention. Many believe that the slayer should be hung, but there are others who are inclinrd to ae cept his statement, in the absence of any motive. Cannot Stop Prosperity. Pittsburg Dispatch. One thing business meu and the public generally can wisely bear in mind. That is that the real factors of prosperity do not de pend ou paper valuations and are not destroyed by the collapse of bubbles aud lxoms. The nation has as much productive land, as many mills, factories aud railroads as it ever had and then some mere in addition. Its population keeps on increasing. The popula tion will not only be buying sup plies of food, clothing, shoes, iron, glass and steel, but it will be work ing to produce what each can to exchauge for the products of oth ers, that is what ousiness is, me exchange of products. Money, bank credits, domestic and foreign exchange are but the instruments by which the trade is settled, just as transportation exchange of the products is effected. When anyone is effected by the thought that the stock complica-1 tions may stop commerce let him counteract it by this thought: The people must go on eating and the farmer must, therefore, go on rais ing food. The farmer to do this must have tools, machinery and supplies and draw on mills for them. To transport the goods to the farmer and to bring his pro ducts to the industrial population the railroads must have rails and rollinc stock. Carry the same certainty through infinite varia tions and you have the demonstra tion that commerce is lound to go on meeting the constant needs of the working masses. Inflation and speculation may inflict injury in their cataclysm, but that is an in evitable result of their vices. Hut in a country like ours the only thing that can permanently stop commerce is the disappearance of population. Let Is Hear No More Of It. Charlotte Observer.' The railroad rate hearing has at length been resumed before Stand ing Master Montgomery and let us renew expressions of the hope that it may proceed to a conclusion without futher disquieting talk about an extra session of the Leg islature. If a compromise can- be effected and the case terminated without the intervention of this body, all well and good; otherwise it would better go through the pro cess of the courts. It is a mistake to suppose that the people are in sympathy with this continued agi G.W.F. HARPER, Pre. J.H. BEALL, Cashier. mm SOT! WA.

It is berias.' he doesn't make the money, for the av erage man is industrious and lias earned from $10, oou to .'0,000 in the past ten years. It is because he doesn't give much serious thought either to his in come or his outgo. Serious thought would teach him the true value of a dollar; then he would speud carefully and save steadily. That system soon tatiou and that popular favor waits P'aces any man ahead of his fellows. A P.ank Account helps you to upon it. They are tired of it as realize the value of money, makes it easier to handle your financial af fairs, and to have a growing balance after paying necessary expenses. i(r interest paid can be learned bp conversation with business men and farmers.

Carroll returned last night from Danville, Va., where he went Tues day night to carry lieorge Sheets, a white man, who was arrested in Davie county Tuesday by Mr. Car roll on the charge of defrauding the government in the operation of a distillery and rescueing property. Sheets was arrested at the home of his father, three miles trom Ad vance. He is a I avie county man, but has been living in Virginia for some time. Sheets had not suc ceeded in giving the $5,000 bond required of him when Mr. Carroll left Danville.

The ex pense has already been great. An extra session of the Legislature would augmeut it largely, and apart from that, the calling of this body together would not l)e regard ed with equanimity. We speak not captiously but in a spirit of friendiliness. So far as the public patience is concerned the game has leen played about to the limit and the added turmoil that a leg islative session would involve would fatigue this patience vet futher. It would mean additional distraction and additional hurt to business condition which are even now far from composed. You know as well as any one when you need something to regulate your system.

One of the most delightful en tertainments of the year was given at Davenport College on Thanks giving night by the school of re pression, Miss Annie K. Howman, director, assisted by MissCrandall of the music department. Owing to various attractions in town the audience, as was expected, was not lai'ire. but it made up for number by a hearty appreci ation of the programme. I ho College has this year per haps the best trained corps of teachers ever seen in this institu tion. and the people of Lenoir have learned to expect only tin ished productions from Davenport. Tho program m consisted of vocal and instrumental music, readings. panlomines and a Comedietta in one act. Special mention should be made of the reading by Miss Lucile Abemethy, which display- not only careful training, but a great adaptability in one so young. The closing number was the "Old Folks at Home" in panto- mine by the primary class, who were blacked to represent picka ninnies. The acting of little Dorthy Xunvar, aged four years, made an instant hit with tho au dience, which howled with laugh ter at seeiug the little tot act with the perfect unconcern and fearles- ness of a hardened veteran of the stage.
